Re: JAY Z's 2014 Made In America Festival ~ LOS ANGELES EDITION!

also makes me think that it really isnt the final billing and that there is another act, maybe two, that is going to be announced for LA.

Looks like at least 5 of the performers are listed for both locations and there are 6 slots at the bottom reading "Coming Soon". That is a possibility, at most, of maybe another 10 performers. I couldn't see them a crowd of people staring a big screens on an empty stage watching a performance 3000 miles away...I would rather sit at home and watch it on youtube or ustream.

Re: JAY Z's 2014 Made In America Festival ~ LOS ANGELES EDITION!

I know you're joking, but they are doing the Rockstar Mayhem Festival this summer. I saw them at Fun Fun Fun last year and they were actually really fucking great. ice T is a really awesome performer.

I did see that they were playing the Mayhem Festival, alongside A7X and KoЯn. I don't even know if I was necessarily making a joke, I just look at this lineup and expect to see Body Count in there somewhere.

Re: JAY Z's 2014 Made In America Festival ~ LOS ANGELES EDITION!

I'm recinding my previous statements. I would love to see them throw RHCP on the top of the LA bill

That would be a baby step in the right direction. Did we really just condone an RHCP booking?

This lineup is a musical atrocity, an affront to common decency and good taste.

But really, though, who is this shitival (as the captn so aptly called it) geared towards? Who in the fuck is the target audience? There is nothing for anyone to get excited about. Imagine Dragons (can't even type that without getting nauseous) have a couple atrocious radio hits and will be playing county fairs in a few years. John fucking Mayer? Is he even a thing any more? Aren't all his fans now middle-aged women driving their bastard children around in SUVs, wreaking havoc on society, or holed up in battered wives shelters? Who is going to pay more than $200 for this shitshow?

Re: JAY Z's 2014 Made In America Festival ~ LOS ANGELES EDITION!

Imagine Dragons, Capital Cities, Sublime, Rise Against will bring the KROQ kids, Steve Aoki and Afrojack will attract the Sahara rats, Metric is the token indie act gone big that has an accessible sound, Kendrick Lamar is the token relevant rapper, Cypress Hill is the token irrelevant rap act, and John Mayer is for the benefit of the chaperones. People will turn out for this, especially from the OC, Inland Empire, etc.

Just think there is too little for any one genre-lover and not enough big names for the generic music fan. The KROQ-ers have the Weenie Roast (whose lineup is epic in comparison); the hip-hoppers have Rock the Bells; the e-tarded kandy kids have HARD Summer. If this really did sell 30K tix presale, then shame on those dum dums. But you're right, this shitival probably does appeal to O.C. soccer moms and dads and their monster children who have nothing better to do this Labor Day than to get mugged at knife point in downtown L.A.

edit: I do feel sorry for Metric and Kendrick. They should just break away and do their own tour together, which I actually would pay to see.

Re: JAY Z's 2014 Made In America Festival ~ LOS ANGELES EDITION!

I feel bad for Classixx having to be on that lineup. I wouldn't have minded having them back for round 2 at FYF

why feel sorry for them? they're getting a nice payday and they get to play a festival in their backyard..they don't give a fuck

Sadly I think Imagine Dragons will continue to get bigger. As far as the Weenie Roast, the past couple years have been lacking in 'legacy'/90's/punk acts and I'd bet Rise Against, "Sublime" and "Weezer" will satisfy that demo more than the recent KROQ lineups.

John Mayer hasn't put together a good setlist since album 3. Weezer will do their usual set plus a new song or 2. I would go to weenie roast over this, jay z has the worst taste in music and put together the worst lineup I've ever seen. Steve aoki blows along with afrojack and if u wanted to see Kendrick Lamar by now while living in LA and haven't, then u suck at life.
